You say tomato, I say tomato... guess that only works if you say it out loud. But, here's a question: is a tomato REALLY a fruit? Or is it a vegetable? And what about the other classic "vegetables" like carrots, potatoes, and beans... have they been masquerading as veggies your entire life? We're here to tell you that, yes, vegetables are a LIE!

What definition ISNT a social construct
@@tannerm7303Exactly. Your name is a construct given to you by your parents. Even if you decide to give yourself a name, that name is used to differentiate yourself from everyone and everything else. If you share a name with someone, your defining features like your hair, your ears, the color of your skin...oh dear...🤪
Wanna know what's funny. Santi doesn't use the proper definition of vegetables and he even mis categorized broccoli
I just had a vegetable unit in my food sciences class. There are many classifications of vegetables (tuber, flower, stalk, even fruit) based on where the eaten part of the plant is grown. In order to make it as a vegetable a plant must have a certain nutritional value and taste. *This is why even though cucumbers and tomatoes are fruits botanically they are prepared as vegetables.* Anyway I get the idea of the video I just thought that was interesting
so when I make tomato juice it is a fruit but if I make tomato soup it is a vegetable, depends on the preparation.
tomato's got reclassified socially as a veggie in early days America due to taxation laws.
Yeah I’m a plant science major so my knowledge of fruit and vegetables just made this video like 10x more confusing. Essentially botanically, as he said, any part of a plant that is not a fruit is classified as a vegetable, or being of vegetative growth. But obviously culturally and culinarily this is not a satisfactory definition.
@@AdarableKitten so capitalism strikes again?
The easiest answer is just pointing at a vegetable and saying that
This episode is so brilliant. A history changer. Bravo Santi! These types of content are what we expect from food theory.
I'm so happy about this cause I've been telling my friends all this for years, and I'm glad it's actually getting out there to the masses
Food Theory Idea: What is the best liquid to dip cookies in? We dunk them in milk in America but in France they dunk them in wine, so what liquids would work?
@LaughingStock00 The British dip them in hot tea and some parts of Italy use coffee with biscotti or pitzelle, both of which tastes way better than it sounds. I'm an even split amongst the three depending on cookie type but milk is still King for chocolate chips.

@@flippyschannel2611 you're confusing people centuries ago who saw these animals for the first time with modern people, this classification you mention was obtained after a bad description of the animal, no one who looks at them would see them as a fish which has a much more specific definition.
Hi Santi, interesting video. A small bit of feedback, I found your narration of this video a little fast paced than before which made it more challenging to listen too, still enjoyed it. The definitions of vegetables that are actually fruit matches with my theory that I held for years such peppers being fruit.
The video I've been waiting for, glad to see the more crazier side about food and the food pyramid in general.

The thing is that vegetables in Danish translates into grøntsag. “Grønt” being the colour green and “sag” translating into “thing” makes an assumption that vegetables is just “green things”💀
Counterpoint: every edible part of a plant is a vegetable, and food items can be in multiple categories. So yes, fruits are vegetables. Grains are vegetables. Leafy greens are vegetables. Fries contain vegetables, and so do breads, salads, and breakfast cereals. Things can be multiple things!

Food Theory: Food is NOT Real
We used to call leaves and stems 'herbs' in old cookbooks. 'Herbs' didn't refer to a 'tiny amount of flavoring agent' like we use the word today, it basically just meant whatever fresh salad-like greens you had on hand that time of year. For instance, the recipe might suggest you serve the main ingredient on a bed of herbs, meaning enough leafy greens to cover the whole plate.

Awesome job continuing the Food Theory Channel! Awesome video!
You've missed a major point in the definition of a "fruit", which is that it's the RIPENED OVARY WALL of a plant. That doesn't mean that you're allowed to call flowers and buds "fruit", because they're not, and they don't have the same kind of nutrition. Especially broccoli and cauliflower, which are at least just as much stem as bud.

Peanuts aren't nuts. Tomatoes are fruits. Vegetables aren't real. Aaarrrrggghh! My poor brain. 🥴😭
Vegetables aren't real botanically, broccoli are florets, celery are stalks tomatoes are fruit ect ect. But, they are real culinarily, its a culinary term for all 'savory' edible plants that aren't herbs.
As a lucky member of the "never been a picky eater" crowd, I support this message. Mostly. I'm a carnivore at heart but greens are still freaking delicious, blame the cook not the vegetation.

My favorite was when my parents would look for a vegetable to go with dinner and they would pull out corn. Not only can I now say it’s a grain, I can now say it’s a fruit!
it's not a fruit though, fruit is the edible area around a seed and corn IS the seed.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I have been telling people this for years. They've called me crazy. They've shunned me. My family and friends have left me for dead. But finally, I have an ally in this fight. My gratitude extends beyond the heavens, good sir!
For me, we have a culinary definition of vegetables. 1. They are typically used in sauces, curries, or salads 2. Dishes with it as the primary food is eaten as lunch or dinner (eg. tomatoes are the primary food of tomato sauce) 3. They are plants (duh) 4. When someone looks at it, they don’t think fruit (this is subjective)
I’ve been making this argument for years. It’s awesome to see Food Theory take this up

Optimal food plate?
@@Minetendo_Fan Yeah kinda, the entire premise of the video is to categorize the different foods that we call vegetables, so a natural follow-up would be to go over what benefits each of these categories gives us
I for one has thought that vegetables as parts of a plant That store its excessive starch in the other parts of the plant than store them in the fruit part because they do not have fruits. In school I remembered that I learned about the fact that some plant have vegetative reproduction so that might classify it so I want opinions of yours about this
THANK YOU! I've been suspecting this for years, but I never did the research to prove it. 👏👏👏
Santi, now you should do the berry sub-category
Funny thing is, I am pretty sure I did hear these classifications while growing up but it was always in passing. Leafy Greens and Starched Vegetables were the words used to separate the vegetable food by many adults throughout these recent years, this video just helped solidify that "Vegetable" was too wide a food group, like saying "Eat Meat" when there are many different variations all with their own boons and cons (that vary further depending on how you cook it)

I still have one question. What about mushrooms? I know they are fungi, but are what category do the edible ones fall under?
Still fungi (or just mushrooms to be more specific but still talking about a category). Not all leaves are edible but we still call the edible ones leaves. It's no different.
Fungi never had anything to do with veggies. The mushrooms we know and love would be classified as mushrooms and I don’t know about yeast
In terms of food groups, they’re usually classified as protein
Fun fact. Mushrooms are more related to you than to plants. Have fun saying that to all your vegan friends like I do.
I think there's a simple answer here. all unrefined edible plant matter is a vegetable, and we can categorize vegetables further by nutrition, culinary application, botanical classification, or a mix of the three depending on purpose.
i feel both enlightened and inspired, thank you food theory
